December 3, 2020

To improve compliance for BLS and due to demand BLS sessions are now available to book on ESR.

Colleagues must complete their Basic Life Support eLearning modules before attending their practical training. Details on how to enrol on to eLearning training can be found on Connect on the following link. https://connect2.swbh.nhs.uk/learning-development/mandatory-list/

For details regarding dates and times, please see below:

To maintain social distancing guidelines, sessions will be capped to a maximum of 10 candidates. We will also be using electronic mannequins instead of the usual ones and wipes will be supplied.

Places are limited and if you find you are unable to attend the session please cancel via ESR to enable another colleague to have the opportunity of booking.

Colleagues are also reminded that they should attend on time otherwise they may not be able to participate in the training.
